Motivation for RAINEX Understanding Rapid Intensity Changes

Cat 2 Cat 3 Cat 5 Cat 4 Day Famous Rapidly Intensifing Storm Hurricane Opal (1995) Pressure drop How do interactions of eyewalls & rainbands in the mature storm… … lead to intensity changes like these? rainband Intensity change problem:

CONCLUSIONS RAINEX Notables: 3 hurricanes—Katrina, Ophelia, & Rita Innovative satellite-based flight control First use of ELDORA in a hurricane Data available via NCAR Field Catalog Katrina and Rita details: K & R’s spiral rainbands had Atlas & Barnes structures R sampled in 3 stages: rapid int., 2nd eyewall, shear Echo cores in eyewalls were linear & oblique Moat region had eye-like sounding Dry air entered in subsiding mesoscale midlevel inflows KatrinaOpheliaRita

How do rainbands form and evolve? How do rainbands contribute/influence the hurricane strength and evolution? Do the rainbands have any influence on the formation of secondary eyewall structure? If so, how? What is the influence/impact of secondary eyewall generation on the storm intensity? How do the concentric eyewall circulations influence overall storm intensity and structure? How does the convective "burst" affect initial storm growth? How do rainbands and eyewall organize in early stages of storm development? RAINEX Science Questions RAINEX Workshop, Miami, 5-7 June 2006
